As Donald Trump cruised to an easy victory in Illinois, weather made things difficult for the Prarie State. A line of severe storms ripped through the Chicagoland area on Tuesday night, including wind gusts over 70 mph
, large hail,
heavy rain and even a possible tornado.

But soon after it was projected that the New York businessman had won the state's primary and would take 49 of the state's 69 delegates, Instagram user @mrmikeyv captured a bolt lightning striking Trump's skyscraper in downtown Chicago.
